Why is the Roy-Borjas model unable to predict international migrant selection on education? : evidence from urban and rural Mexico
Leopold, Stefan; Ruhose, Jens; Wiederhold, Simon - 2023
The Roy-Borjas model predicts that international migrants are less educated than nonmigrants because the returns to education are generally higher in developing (migrant-sending) than in developed (migrant-receiving) countries. However, empirical evidence often shows the opposite. Using the case...

Climate change, inequality, and human migration
Burzyńskia, Michał; Deuster, Christoph; Docquier, … - 2019
This paper investigates the long-term implications of climate change on local, interregional, and international migration of workers. For nearly all of the world's countries, our micro-founded model jointly endogenizes the effects of changing temperature and sea level on income distribution and...

The gravity model of migration : the successful comeback of an ageing superstar in regional science
Poot, Jacques; Alimi, Omoniyi; Cameron, Michael; Maré, … - 2016
For at least half a century, and building on observations first made a century earlier, the gravity model has been the most commonly‐used paradigm for understanding gross migration flows between regions. This model owes its success to, firstly, its intuitive consistency with migration...

Self-employment and migration
Giambra, Samuele; McKenzie, David J. - 2019
There is a widespread policy view that a lack of job opportunities at home is a key reason for migration, accompanied by suggestions of the need to spend more on creating these opportunities so as to reduce migration. Self-employment is widespread in poor countries, and faced with a lack of...

Job search, locus of control, and internal migration
Caliendo, Marco; Cobb-Clark, Deborah A.; Hennecke, Juliane - 2015
Internal migration can substantially improve labor market efficiency. Consequently, policy is often targeted towards reducing the barriers workers face in moving to new labor markets. In this paper we explicitly model internal migration as the result of a job search process and demonstrate that...

Strong versus weak ties in migration
Giulietti, Corrado; Wahba, Jackline; Zenou, Yves - 2014
This paper studies the role of strong versus weak ties in the rural-to-urban migration decision in China. We first develop a network model that puts forward the different roles of weak and strong ties in helping workers to migrate to the city. We then use a unique longitudinal data that allows...

Cultural biases in migration : estimating non-monetary migration costs
Falck, Oliver; Lameli, Alfred; Ruhose, Jens - 2015
Ever since Sjaastad (1962), researchers have struggled to quantify the psychic costs of migration. We monetize psychic cost as the wage premium for moving to a culturally different location. We combine administrative social security panel data with a proxy for cultural difference based on...

Economic shocks and internal migration
Monras, Joan - 2015
Previous literature shows that internal migration rates are strongly procyclical. This would seem to imply that geographic relocation does not help mitigate negative local economic shocks during recessions. This paper shows that this is not the case. I document that net in-migration rates...
